Editors Note: Chris Low covers college football for ESPN.com. Below is an excerpt of his article about Steve Spurriers return to Florida.This was Steve Spurriers day, the day he was officially welcomed back to Florida -- as Head Gator Ambassador -- and he and his family soaked in every bit of it, starting with a two-hour autograph session at the UF Bookstore to promote his new autobiography Head Ball Coach: My Life in Football and ending with one stroll after another down memory lane as Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium became Steve Spurrier-Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.I think about my life path and how blessed Ive been, said Spurrier, gazing out onto the field and watching the final few minutes of the first half in the Gators plodding 24-7 victory over UMass. Its just amazing to be here and to have had all the great things that have happened to me. When Doug Dickey brought me back here to coach quarterbacks (in 1978), we got fired after one year. I was done. I didnt know where I was going or what I was going to do. At one point, my assistant coaching record was 10-24-1. But I guess all roads just sort of keep leading back to Florida.Even as a 71-year-old ambassador who walks with a familiar limp thanks to a surgically replaced knee, Spurrier still scurries at a pretty good pace. And it turns out that he still has a few moves, too.As part of the Steve Spurrier Field dedication before the game, he led the Gators traditional Mr. Two Bits cheer with a rousing performance and then a Usain Bolt pose to close the deal.All day long, his former players flocked around him. They all have their favorite Spurrier stories, and most of those stories only get better with him. And his memory, expressly his ability to recall the most obscure details from years ago, is uncanny.Some of the best interaction with Spurrier came with the fans, who crammed into the UF Bookstore to buy his book and then wait in line to get an autographed copy. Buddy Martin, who co-authored the book with Spurrier, was there helping to direct traffic and said hed never seen Spurrier, admittedly not a huge autograph guy, so giddy to sign for so many people.After two hours of signing books, it was difficult to tell whether the fans were happier to have Spurrier back or if he was happier to be back. He joked that he would stay busy ambassadoring.Even though it was a long day, it was a day Spurrier and his entire family will cherish. Hes big on winning, big on having fun and big on family.To read Chris Lows entire article about Spurriers return to Florida, visit ESPN.com. Wholesale Authentic Jordans .

Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league. Considering that his team has been without star guard Russell Westbrook and with the free agent departure of sharpshooter Kevin Martin, hes had to carry the majority of the load to not only keep his team afloat but more importantly, at an elite level. Coach Mark Jones has slammed Newcastles critics, declaring hes dumbfounded by attacks on his sides performances given their recent injury crisis.Jones was quick to share his dismay at the view of those whod written the Jets off as a poor team, using back-to-back wins as proof that they can turn it on when required.Friday nights 2-1 triumph over Adelaide and last weekends upset of Perth has coincided with the return of key personnel including captain Nigel Boogaard, Daniel Mullen, Andrew Nabbout and Morten Nordstrand.Jones argued it should be obvious those players would lift his side after seven winless rounds.Weve copped a lot of stick for the way we played early on, but we had five players out, Jones saidAnd even then we still tried to play football.Now weve got everyone back weve got better possession and composure - thats why you have experienced players in your side.Ive been very disappointed with some of the comments when we have five players out and were coppinng flak.ddddddddddddIts not rocket science; you get your experienced players back in, you play better.It dumbfounds me.Jones will soon have a full compliment at his disposal with Finnish striker Aleksandr Kokko set to be back for the Boxing Day clash with Wellington.At least until Saturday night, the Jets are sixth and could spend Christmas there depending on other results.Theyll be motivated to continue their climb up the table, but Jones said the team drew more confidence more from winning.The wins more than the position has made us confident, he said.To win three in a row would be magnificent.It just takes us up the table further and (prompts) more reflection that a team from Newcastle can do well.Ive always said they can and I dont cop that Sydney or Melbourne or anyone else is better than us.We play good football, we can beat anyone.
